[@PieterPienaar-r3j]

This is perhaps one of the best tutorials I have ever watched! Most people online (especially in paid courses) like telling you to type what they tell you, and then it works, but you never UNDERSTAND what you're actually doing. You - on the other hand - break things down to the core and then build a solution up slowly, just to then show that the shortcut that everyone uses does exactly that in the backend. You slowly modify the scenario until the documented way of doing things makes sense since it now makes sense what the packages actually do when you call them. It is a FANTASTIC method of teaching coding. Honestly, I've sat with the documentation, Stack Overflow and ChatGPT and struggled for weeks... so many lightbulbs turned on when I watched this video. You are an incredible teacher!

[@CodingEntrepreneurs]

Thank you for making my day!

[@r125l6]

Dear Justin, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the amazing tutorial series you've created on Django Rest Framework. Your efforts and clear explanations have made the learning process incredibly smooth for me. Not only have you taught Django Framework effectively, but your insights into Django Rest Framework have been invaluable. Your dedication to teaching shines through, and I truly appreciate the effort you've put into creating such high-quality content. As someone eager to delve into professional Django development, I'm convinced of the importance of solid guidance for production-level work. Hence, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks and best wishes to you. Your tutorials have laid a strong foundation for many of us, and I'm sure I speak for many when I say that your expertise is highly valued. If it's not too much to ask, could you perhaps consider creating a guide or series focused on best practices for Django Rest Framework in a professional setting? Topics such as Django user authentication, deployment and other industry best practices would be immensely helpful. Once again, thank you for your outstanding work, and I eagerly await any further insights you may share. Best regards, Rasel Rana Bangladesh

[@CodingEntrepreneurs]

Thank you for this! You made my day. Who else wants to see authentication with DRF?

[@r125l6]

You're welcome, Justin! Your tutorials have truly made a difference for many of us. Keep up the amazing work!@@CodingEntrepreneurs

[@SophiaRatri]

​@@CodingEntrepreneursThank you for your dedication to teaching Python and Django, Sir. Your consideration for addressing production challenges, particularly in authentication with Django Rest Framework, is highly appreciated. I earnestly urge you to create a tutorial focusing on production-ready DRF authentication, including custom user implementation and other crucial aspects. Your guidance in this area would be invaluable, and I'm certain many of us would benefit greatly from following your recommended path while implementing these solutions.

[@JustinaNockreck]

​@@CodingEntrepreneursAbsolutely, Justin! Count me in for a deep dive into DRF authentication-it's exactly what I've been eager to learn. Thanks for your outstanding tutorials ❤

[@grandpaghost77]

Dude your style of teaching is great 👍

[@tsyf1]

As I get more experienced as a developer, it gets harder to find content beyond the simplest of CRUDs for some technologies and a lot of tImes I end up just reading the documentation. I really like your approach here. It seems like you're trying to show as many DRF's features as possible while making them useful so that we can remember them and use them as needed, while trying to keep the quality one would expect on a production environment, and it works. Your video helped me a lot. Thank you.

Thank you so much, Justin, for making this video. I really liked your teaching style - covering multiple coding strategies, and the in-depth explanation is just phenomenal. The course structure was very mature, and I never felt like I was wasting my time watching this video, unlike most of the coding tutorials. The main problem with most of the videos is that they generally target beginners with minimal and starter coding practices, but this video was seriously different. Now, if anybody asks me for Django, Python, or API resources, I am simply recommending this channel. Also, one thing that I missed was the testing part. Can you please add a module for testing the back-end? I learnt DRF for building back-end for my multi-modal AI app which consists of computer vision and RAG. I will share the github link as well as the working app's link ASAP. Also, I was inspired by Delphic - A package for building end-to-end RAG apps. Delphic is discontinued right now and I am looking forward to create my own package for the task.
